Fortune And Humor Govern The World.

Most Of Our Faults Are More Pardonable Than The Means We Use To Conceal Them.

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.

The Sure Way To Be Cheated Is To Think One's Self More Cunning Than Others.

We Sometimes Condemn The Present, By Praising The Past; And Show Our Contempt Of What Is Now, By Our Esteem For What Is No More.
